MES Electrical & Solar Ltd

Craig and his team were extremely helpful from start to finish of my solar installation. All relevant questions were answered professionally and in a timely manner. The actual installation team completed the job in two days and their work was very professional. Once completed, all of the applicable paperwork was supplied very quickly and I would have no hesitation of recommending M.E.S to anybody considering having a pv system.

So pleased we chose MES Electrical & Solar to fit our solar panels and batteries. It was everything we hoped for, great service from this family run business. Pre-sales by Rachel was very informative and welcoming, no hard sale. The quoted price for the job was also very competative, better than national providers. Quality of installation was very good and completed by a great team of lads. We felt looked after through the whole process, everything was well organised and all agreed dates kept to. No concerns or frustrations, I would recommend this company to anyone.

Thanks MES, good experience from the start to finnish. They managed to improve the overall output over initial design, were happy to make some tweaks during the install, very responsive to mails and calls. Install team were polite, well mannered, informative and professional. Thanks again MES

I contacted MES electrical about getting solar panels. The whole process was so smooth. I filled out the enquiry form, Rachael got back to me so quickly with the cost. I expected everything to be more expensive but prices are very competitive. Craig and Rachael answered all my questions. I was meant to wait for another 4 weeks but they had an opening and booked me for that slot immediately. On the day of the installation, the team did a brilliant job. They made sure to clean up after themselves and took all the rubbish away. The installation looks professional with all the wires tucked away. The team are also very friendly and happy to answer any questions. I had a couple of quotes with tel he big companies but I am glad I went to MES electrical. Definitely a friendly and professional company

Very pleased with the recent installation of 21 solar panels and Fox battery at our home last week. The whole process from initial enquiry to commissioning has been quick and professional, and the installation itself only took two days. The installers Ryan, Ryan and George were efficient, considerate and polite and Craig, Sean and Rachael at the office have been responsive and helpful. Combine all of this with a very competitive price and M.E.S. becomes a highly recommended company to provide a complete solar solution.

Really pleased with our solar & battery experience, from sales to install. Rachael was very proactive and reassuring throughout. Then followed up by Craig and his team, who walked me through every step of the journey (inc. sending me photos of the panels before installation day to make sure I was comfortable), handled unexpected National Grid hiccups without pressure and installed everything very professionally. They even walked me through the FoxCloud App at the end. Recommended!

Friendly, knowledgeable, clean and tidy. Great price and fantastic solar system. Went for sig energy batteries. Not got ev but we got a charge point and Eddie water heater too. I couldn't be happier with the guys, system or price

MES installed a full solar and battery system at our home. They were incredibly efficient and professional throughout exceeding our expectations. Good communication, high quality installation, would recommend, thanks guys.

Brilliant job, it's also a concern when you heard of so many dodgy suppliers around M.E.S are one of the best. It was good to see such a qualified install team that was happy to suggest some of their work we could go and see for peace of mind. Very thorough especially with the calculations to check for the roof weight and rain water dissapation. Good prompt communication from the team. Highly recommended!

I’m extremely pleased with the work carried out by MES Electrical and Solar in fitting my solar panels and battery. From start to finish the service was professional, efficient, and well organised. The installation was completed to a very high standard, and the team did a fantastic job explaining everything clearly along the way. The system works brilliantly and the workmanship is excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MES Electrical and Solar to anyone considering solar or battery installation.

Excellent installation from Craig and the team. Clear explanations of how the system works. Happy to recommend!

We recently had our solar panel fitment and have to congratulate the MES team for their considerable efforts in completing a difficult internal wiring programme as external panel wiring was not available. Tricky and exhausting, Craig and his assistant would not give up, so we say Many Thanks MES, a brilliant job. Would certainly recommend.

MES did a very good job supplying and installing solar panels, batteries and EV chargers at a competitive price. Really pleased with the outcome.

Really pleased with the whole experience from MES Electrical & Solar. The admin side was handled brilliantly — Rachael made everything clear and professional, especially around handover and communications. The install team, including Craig, Ryan, and the rest of the crew, were polite, efficient, and flexible in completing some extra bits of work we added on. They kept things tidy and explained everything clearly. Overall, we’re very happy with the installation, system performance, and pricing. Would definitely recommend MES to anyone considering solar.

We just wanted to say how impressed we’ve been with MES Electrical from start to finish. From our initial meeting with Craig and Rachael, we felt confident we were in good hands. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. Over the two days of the installation of our solar / battery system, the two Ryans were both incredibly professional, friendly, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They explained everything clearly, worked efficiently, and left everything neat and tidy. It’s rare to see that level of care, attention to detail, and genuine pride in the work these days – they made the whole process easy and completely stress-free for us. You’ve got a fantastic team, and we’ll absolutely be recommending MES Electrical to others. Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved and let them know their hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. We’re really happy with how everything turned out!

M.E.S. Ltd was recommended to me by a friend. Craig came and surveyed my house and came up with a propsal that was better and more cost effective than that which had been offered by a major supplier. Both Racheal and Craig responded to my enquiries quickly. The 3 day installation began on the day planned. The 3 installers were very pleasant, competent, careful and helpful - involving us at important stages during installation eg routing of cables, positioning of devices etc. Installation took place without a problem. Handover involved downloading the phone apps for us and demonstrating the working of the system. I can wholehearrtedly recommend M.E.S. Ltd - a good team.

A very professional/customised installation by MES. Right from the point of making the first contact, Craig & his team were very professional in all their dealings. The solar panel, along with the bird guard installation & all the wiring was done neatly. Craig & the team were really accommodating when it came to the inverter & especially the battery placement as we had to experiment with few locations. All the paperwork arrived smoothly & swiftly (thanks Rachael). Very happy with the installation & would highly recommend. WK

Highly recommended. Great to use a local company. Following a competitive, comprehensive quote, I was subsequently very satisfied with the high quality and speed of the PV and battery installation; which has been performing well since. Craig was very informative in helping to select the best solution and easy to engage with.

We contacted M.E.S to arrange a survey and quote for new solar PV panels and battery storage. Craig visited and explained what would work best for our property and later that day we had a full breakdown of what the system could produce and a potential payback period which was a great help. We decided to accept the very competitive quote we had been sent and soon had a date for installation the following week. Rachael from MES kept us fully informed with scaffolding timings and all aspects of the solar installation. Ryan and his team arrived on the installation date, let us know what was going to happen over the two days and we left them to it. Everything went without a hitch which was great. Big thank you to everyone at M.E.S Electrical & Solar for a five star job, i would recommend this company to anyone looking for Solar PV.

MES installed my Solar PV system in Oct 23. A few months on and I'm really happy with the installation. The fitting took 2 days and went off without any problems and the admin of the documents for Build Control , Warranty and Notices for the Grid Connection etc all were correct and satified the requirements of the various bodies. Everything MES has done has been high quality , very professional and friendly. They arrived when they said , kept me informed , worked through inclement weather and obviously have a great team , high work ethic and a thorough knowledge base. Would recommend with a 5 star rating anytime..... Rachael , Craig , Big Ryan , Little Ryan and Tom - many thanks to you all.... kind regards John.... Solihull , West Mids.

From the initial visit from Craig the owner filling me with confidence I have been really pleased. I'd carefully searched for a local company with a long background in solar, instead of all these pop ups providing nothing more than installation and folding up every couple of years. Craig filled my requirements perfectly as an electrician of many years who's moved into PV over a long period of time. His quote was also very competitive with plenty of help and advice sorting out exactly what I wanted. His team of two Ryans and Nigel arrived and set about a clean, tidy, and very fast installation. This impressed me greatly. As a project engineer good planning always leads to a quality approach to a job, and these guys were exactly what I like in a supplier. Less than two days and I've got exactly what I asked for, for less than these pop up companies, and great experience all round renewing my faith in solar PV after cancelling a few over the last 10 years due to fine print clauses and such. And Rachael back at base is quick to help on any questions, queries, or paperwork. Brilliant experience all round and thoroughly recommended. Many thanks indeed 4 month update and despite the weather it's all performing better than expected, and thanks to the advice for moving over to Octopus I'm seeing a great return on export too especially now I've got the night rate setup and charging every other day if the batteries look low in bad weather. Even so I'm using half the energy I did last year because the system is topping up during the day so if it's a bright day I'm getting charge and a poor day I just do a top up between 2am and 5am at the low night rate. Can't begin to say how pleased I am with the setup. Thanks again

MES came recommended by a colleague at work. Throughout the quote and install process I can’t fault the service we have received. I had a number of questions about the best configuration to install - as a result of not really getting answers when dealing with quotes from other installers - and each was answered in full and came with additional information I didn’t know I needed. Even the survey visit provided more information about how to go about making the right decision - because time was taken to understand what we were trying to achieve before the survey was done (something that did not happen with a surveyor from another company). The install was smooth and completed in two visits due to an out of stock item requiring a few days wait. I’m really happy with what we have and how it is working for us. MES have handled everything to get us to this point - throughout the process quotes, paperwork and questions have consistently been turned round quickly and at no point have we been left waiting for a response. MES really are easy to do business with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

At every stage, I was impressed with the helpful and professional approach and I couldn't recommend the team highly enough. All very lovely and helpful people who did what they said they would, cleaned up at the end, and left me with a very efficient solar panel/battery system - exactly what I wanted. Their attention to detail and wanting to leave a happy customer really could not be beaten. Thanks all

M.E.S. five stars, Google reviews nul points: I just wrote a glowing review of Mat, Rachael, Craig and the team but tried to add a photo and Google lost it all. Anyway, up and running less than four weeks after Mat's first visit. I'll (try to) write another review later once I've properly understood how Octopus works with the system.

Very satisfied with how the work was carried out. Everything went smoothly. The system and mobile phone app were fully explained. All necessary paperwork was promptly received. Would highly recommend M.E.S Electrical and Solar Ltd.

Excellent experience using this company. Fair quote. Provided lots of information. Fast response to enquiries. Arrived as planned. Polite and respectful team. I'm pleased with the quality of work. Overall very happy with my solar panel/battery installation.

We have just had our solar system installed by MES. From the start of this process I found them to be very helpful and answered all my questions. The install went as planned from installing the scaffold through to commissioning the system. The installers were very professional and went through the install with me prior to the work starting. The team were very careful when in the house wearing overshoes etc I must say I am very happy I chose MES thank you to all the team I have already passed their details to a friend who is also having them install his system.

We had our system fitted by M.E.S. after our neighbours were very pleased with them. Our roof profile meant that panels were fitted at the front and back, with no problem. The inverter and battery are conveniently tucked away in the garage, maintaining easy access to the cars. The Solar iboost is also working well to heat the hot water. Craig, Rachael and the team are clearly very knowledgeable and efficient, and also very personable. With a relatively small deposit, the balance was not needed until the installation was completed, unlike some other firms. This small company gives excellent personal service. Highly recommended.

Great team, they provided a high quality service at a competitive price, they were able to answer all our questions quickly and efficiently. We were given a fitting date and despite some typical British weather they were on site on date. The scaffolding team arrived the day before fitting, they were polite, quick and efficient and removed the scaffolding the next working day after the works were completed. The fitting team again were polite and kept is up to date with progress, talked us through the app which showed us the power being generated and used

We contacted a number of Suppliers of Solar panels for quotes on a new system. Although the quotes were all similar in costs we decided to choose MES Electrical after the managing director visited and surveyed the site. Whenever, we had questions responses were quick and efficient. The installation took 2 days as estimated and the team that turned up were polite, curteous and very engaging with us. When walking on carpet they even removed their outer shoes without any prompting on our part! From the moment the system was operational we began to experieince an immediate reduction in power we were drawing from the grid even on days when the sun was not shinning the App showed we were sending energy back to the grid. So far a very happy customer.

Really friendly company with no pushy sales (unlike others I met). Happy with everything start to finish. Highly recommend.

Craig and his team did a first class job of my solar installation. Craig was recommended to me and is very knowledgeable, it was good to talk to someone who I trusted. There are so many companies out there its difficult to find someone who you can rely on. As well as being quick to come and survey the property the quote was forthcoming and competitive. They also tidied up after themselves which is rare for electricians!! Thanks again I have no hesitation in recommending.

An excellent experience all round. Good communications and support pre, during and after our Installation. The team who installed our system were friendly and supportive and made the whole job straightforward, tidy and stress free. Great!

After having been let down by previous Solar install companies through the Solar Together scheme, Craig, Rachael and the Ryan’s at MES were a breath of fresh air. They organised the install really quickly and handled all of the paperwork. The quote was competitive and the communication has been excellent. The install went well and we are really pleased with the result and are now happily generating the majority of our electricity.

After weeks of searching for a trusted solar installer we were very pleased with all aspects. Craig recommended a solar design which is proving exactly what we wanted at a reasonable price. Rachael was extremely efficient with the paperwork. Ryan and the lads worked efficiently on the install and didn’t leave until we were completely happy. A great professional midlands based installer and would fully recommend.

We contacted MES in November / December time 2022 for a quote for a solar panel system. The process of getting a quote was easy, and was all done online. We were happy with the quote and the detailed information in the quote, pointing to the foreseen efficiency and cost-benefit of the new system. Getting booked in for the job also was a smooth process. MES worked with us to find a date that would work for both parties. From there on out, as customers, it has been plain sailing to be frank. Scaffolding went up on the agreed date, the work started and completed as planned, with minimum hassle for us. Any issues with our old roof tiles were sorted to prevent leaks, without adding extra costs to the original quote. Professional and efficient workers, with special mention to Ryan. Craig fronted the job with calmness, confidence and reassurance when needed. So, two thumbs up from us :) Thanks for a great job, Lasse

We’ve just had a full solar installation including batteries by MES. Great team worked at the house over 3 days, they were brilliant and very professional. We’re really pleased with the system, got 8kWhrs on a cold dull Jan day, which we were very happy with. Would highly recommend

From initial survey to completion of project we received top class service and communication. Craig and his team are passionate about the product and always put the customer first.This is clearly a long established family business that truly cares! Highly recommend.

The guys were Very good and cleaned up after themselves. Recommended to a few friends. A++

Great job all round, 3x Fitters, 2 Ryans, 1 Nigel, great people working for your company. Thanks to your company, Craig and Rachel for making the process straight forward. Looking to save and Harness the Suns natural power with good quality materials. Thankyou Nigel and Jane Clews

Craig and his team did an excellent job installing the solar panels at our property. Professional, punctual and highly competent. Craig has deep expertise in his field and can advise you on exactly the right system for your needs. Since installation, the system has performed well and we are very pleased with the impact it is having on our fuel bills! Highly recommended.

Terrible customer service,I would not trust them

Absolutely brilliant service from Craig & his team - project delivered in a timely manner.

Couldn't have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable or helpful team to advise on and fit our solar panels and battery. Everything was on time and stress free from first call to delivery and fit. Every document etc. I needed was delivered within a few days. I couldn't recommend Craig and his team highly enough

Highly recommended! Craig and the M.E.S. team have been excellent with our solar panels! He used our past electricity bills to model the benefits for us and recommended a suitable system. The fitting was very quick and very professional and he has always been fast to respond to any queries we have had. We are very pleased with the panels and battery we have now got and the service from M.E.S.

Rachael & Craig are very friendly & approachable and produced a design to suit the quirks of our house. The quote was very competitive. Their team arrived on time, worked hard, kept the area tidy and were polite.The system works really well, charging its battery during the day, heating the hot water cylinder when the battery is full and sending excess power to the grid. The battery provides power when it's dark. Rachael emailed the relevant certificates and warranties on completion of the work.

Very pleased with the solar panel installation Craig did for me in September 2021. He gave me a competitive quote, explaining what I would expect both in terms of installation and operation. He then did the installation when he said he would with no fuss or bother, since when the panels have been working fine with no intervension or maintenance required. I would definitely recommend MES Electrical to anyone considering solar panels.
